Ultra-High Relief Sterling Silver Coin - H.R.H. Prince Henry of Wales (Prince Harry) (2011)
Crafted in the ultra-high relief of ancient medallic art.
Highlights:
Rarely does a coin feature a royal effigy on both sides, but every coin
in this magnificent series does. Each portrait has the raised edges
normally seen on a sculpted military medal. Its ultra-high relief has
been achieved by striking the coin an impressive four times followed
by extensive refining and polishing—an intense hand-crafted process
that produces a unique finish for each coin.
Coin designs:
The agreeable disposition of the Princes of Wales is unmistakable in
three skilfully-crafted portraits, each one a remarkable likeness of
Prince Harry, Prince William and The Prince of Wales (Prince Charles).
H.R.H. Prince Henry of Wales
(Prince Harry)
Prince Harry was born on September 15, 1984
and baptized Prince Henry Charles Albert David.
Like his elder brother, Prince Harry trained at the
Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He served in
Afghanistan in 2008 and is patron of six charitable
organizations, including Sentebale of which he is
co-founder.
A legacy to last the ages.
More than any other monarchy, our Royal Family is arguably the most visible and best known worldwide and has played a significant role in Canadian life for centuries.
Throughout, the continuity of the crown has
been of paramount importance, every king and
queen contributing to the adaptability that has
enabled their institution to survive. Today, the
monarch’s role is vastly different from that of
earlier sovereigns but it is woven with the strong
threads of history; past glories that have the
power to evoke a powerful sense of emotion and
affection in a modern world.
